1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,080
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,039

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,840
thank you for giving us this new day and for

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,079
the opportunity to pray. Father, Please help us to live,

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,439
Help us to live like we are your people in reality.

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,359
In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again God

31
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:58,319
among his people. Can I just say that God wants

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000
to be with you where you are, or maybe maybe

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,599
I should say it this way. God wants to be

34
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,039
with you. He wants you where he is. Yeah, wherever

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120
you are, God wants to be with you. This is

36
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:14,520
why the Bible says, and we'll probably say it again

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,479
at the end Moses, God said to Moses, have them

38
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,800
make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,360
So God wants to be with you. In fact, Jesus's

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,000
name as he became took on the adopted human form

41
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,840
when he lived on planet Earth for thirty three and

42
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:39,680
a half years. The Bible teaches us that his name

43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,000
is Emmanuel. That being interpreted God with us so God

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,120
demonstrated through the life of Christ and so many other

45
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:50,879
ways that he just literally wants to be with us.

46
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,520
Do you want to be with God too? Is that

47
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,919
your desire? Is that your reality? Is that your story

48
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:01,599
as well? And so with that in mind, we're going

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,680
to the Bible Book of Numbers, the Bible Book of Numbers,

50
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,439
chapter two and verse three, and we see we're going

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,439
to see God's presence, how it's central in our journey.

52
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:15,159
And so the Bible reads the lesson writer wanted us

53
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:16,800
to look at these and see what we can get

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,439
out of it. And on the east side, toward the

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,560
rising sun, shall they of the standard of the camp

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,599
of Judah pitch throughout their armies? That is numbers chapter

57
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,560
two and verse three. So we see that the tribe

58
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,000
of Judah was pitched there. So what lesson can I

59
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,039
learn there? Because you have to break your brain almost

60
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:44,039
but really it's better to be prayerful. God positioned his

61
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,319
presence at the center, showing that everything in life must

62
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,199
revolve around him. As you enter into the sanctuary, I

63
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,479
wish I had the time the tribe of Judah. Jesus

64
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:58,680
came from the tribe of Judah. He's the lion, the

65
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:01,199
mighty lion of the tribe of jud. As you enter

66
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:05,280
in from the east to the west, you're going through. Yeah,

67
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,479
Judah is stationed there. So God positioned his presence at

68
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:16,720
the center, showing that everything in life must revolve around him.

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,879
Of course, of course he's the sanctuaries in the center,

70
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,560
and the different tribes are all around. He is in

71
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,560
the center. Is he in the center of your life?

72
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,720
Is he in the center of my life? So I

73
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,720
want you to reorganize your schedule today and for this week,

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,839
so that prayer time with God are your starting point

75
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,920
and not an afterthought. I said, rearrange your schedule so

76
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,160
prayer time with God is the reality of your life,

77
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,959
not an afterthought. Oh no, wait, I haven't prayed yet.

78
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,079
Oh no, this difficult thing is happening. Let us pray

79
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,759
not just like that, but that is the center of

80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,680
our lives. Let's go to numbers chapter two and verse ten.

81
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,160
For Ruben in the south on the south side shall

82
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,759
be the standard of the camp of Ruben, according to

83
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,000
his armies. Let's see if we can get anything out

84
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,839
of that. No matter which way life turns, I'm stretching here, y'all,

85
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,600
no matter which way life turns, whether it is to

86
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240
the north, the south, the east, or the west, God

87
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,519
is present and he is steady there. He's study there.

88
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,879
He is present. So we see him in the south,

89
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,959
God's people representing him in the south. He stands with

90
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,000
us in every direction of our lives. And now we

91
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:40,240
go to verse eighteen. In the west, in the west

92
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:43,720
on the west side shall be the standard of the

93
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:47,639
camp of Ephrium, according to their armies, the west side.

94
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,519
You realize that the arc of the covenant is stationed

95
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,839
in the west side, or the westerly direction of the sanctuary,

96
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,879
the most holy place. Yes, in the west. So God's

97
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,800
people turn their backs to the sun and their faces

98
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,160
to the shakina or the glory of God. I wish

99
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,079
I had the time. They turned their backs to the

100
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,720
sun and point their faces toward the presence of God. Oh,

101
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,759
I wish I had the time. If you are facing

102
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,879
the sun, maybe you're facing okay, I said, Maybe the

103
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,199
reality is God's people were chided for turning their faces

104
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,759
to the sun and turning their backs to the sanctuary.

105
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,759
So the people camped together, reminding us that God calls

106
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:40,800
us into a faith community, not into like being a hermit,

107
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:48,720
not into isolation. He called us to be together now

108
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:53,160
for the north the tribe of Dan Verse twenty five.

109
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,079
The standard of the camp of Dan shall be in

110
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:03,160
the north side by their armies. Instructions on order were

111
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,800
not random. Shout to the people who know what behavior

112
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,079
style atc is. We love order. We love order. I

113
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,759
mean order is even biblical. So God did not want

114
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,759
it to be random. His design brings peace and strength

115
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,319
even in chaos. So I want you to look at

116
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,160
one area of your life. I'm a coach. One area

117
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,800
of your life that feels messy, I said, feels messy?

118
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:35,079
Is it your time management? Is it your money? Is

119
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,319
it how your relationships function. There's so much stuff in

120
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,800
the news about different public figures, including sports figures, etc.

121
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:48,360
When they get into these really ridiculous relationship situations, if

122
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720
you can call it that. But if those things are

123
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:55,000
messy in your life, ask God for wisdom to bring

124
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,399
them into order. Bring them in to order and Revelation

125
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:03,000
Chapter two The Bible reads beginning at verse twelve, and

126
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:09,040
had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates,

127
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:13,439
and at the gates twelve angels, and the names written

128
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,959
thereon which are the names of the twelve tribes of

129
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,959
the children of Israel. And so we see there that

130
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,639
God's glory is reflected in his people. Even in heaven,

131
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,759
we see his people as a manifestation of his glory.

132
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120
The names of the tribes of the People of God

133
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:36,399
are written there, are you serious? Yes, yes, indeed? And

134
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,399
then true worship is centered on God's presence. In Revelation

135
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:42,840
twenty one and verse twenty two, and I saw no

136
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,879
temple therein, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb

137
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,879
are the temple of it. Even the Old Testament Bible

138
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:55,639
writers said that God is a little sanctuary like so,

139
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,759
people who think that the space or the place is

140
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,279
what makes something hold, you're sadly mistaken. The original sanctuary

141
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,919
or the welcome into relationship with God is God himself.

142
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,600
He wants us, too, tabernacle with him, to abide in

143
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360
him and he in you. And you can ask what

144
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,080
you will and it will be done unto you. So Jesus,

145
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,240
the original sanctuary wants you to become as a sanctuary,

146
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:28,519
full and holy like the song said. Bible says that

147
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,720
we are the temple of the Holy Ghost, and we

148
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,679
were bought with a price God wants to dwell with

149
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:39,120
us permanently. Have them make a sanctuary that I may

150
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,039
dwell among them. This transcends the time now far into eternity.

151
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.

152
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Friends.

153
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

154
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

155
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

156
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
